Although I have been slow in eaching you, girls, still you have teen in my thoughts all the while. !o, if you have been inclined to feel leglected, just remember the best of he feast is always served last. Have you ever taken time to think ehat true womanhood means, and rhat is required of you? If not, you .re beginning life's journey in a haphazard way, and you will find, when, lerhaps, it is too late, that you have nade a grave mistake. The wise uan who intends building a house, j irst sits down and counts the cost, n building a character, it is fully as lecessary, that we, too, count the ost. What will happen to us if we ive only for pleasure, or if we follow he path of duty? I I have been told that girls in the ities and towns spend the greater art of their time in pursuit of pleasire?having a good time. Believe ae, girls, when I tell you you are aaking a grave mistake. You Ure laking too much of the trivial side of Lfe, and crowding out the real things hat are necessary to produce trength of character. You have a aind and soul which is crying out for ttention, so you see, you must be omething more than mere butterlies, if you would be what God inends you to be?a' woman in the true ense of the word. You will never find deep, abiding lappiness this way. Like the "Will?'-the wisp," it will be ever in sight, uring you on, but it will always lude your grasp. Some ohe asks the [uestion "Where is happiness to be ound?" and the answer is thus: "In he dictionary," indicating that it is i arely found in human life. True happiness must come from rithin; there must be nobility of aind, heart, and soul to bring about his state of bliss. It is the highest hings of life that make the highest ileasure; remember that, girls, rhen you feel inclined to trifle away he precious moments that come to s only once. Here is something I rish you to read carefully: "The revailing morals of an age depend aore than we are aware of, or are billing to allow, on the conduct of he women; this is one of the prinipal things on which the great mahine of human society turns. Those rho allow the influences which felale graces have in contributing to olish the manners of men would do rell to reflect how great an influence emale morals must also have on heir conduct." Viewed in this light ou occupy a most important posiion in life. It depends very much n you whether your influence tends o the betterment of morals or to the Dwering of them. You have great >pwer, girls, be very, very careful iow you use it. Get up high, where he air is pure and exhilarating, then f the toys have the right stuff in hem, they will try to come up to you, f they haven't you need not lose ny sleep about them. Above all, iris, get the great Spiritual Magnet, Jhrist, into your lives if you would Ive up to the best. Then you will | ease to be selfish, you will help your toor, tired mother, if you are so ortunate to have one; you will contantly be finding ways of making Ife sweeter for every one around ou. I noticed a correspondent in The lerald wishing a young couple, reently married, all sunshine. That is mpossible. Just suppose in nature re had all sunshine and no showers, here would be no verdure on the lain, no beautiful flowers, no appeIzing fruits. So let us welcome the howcrs as well as the sunshine, nowing they are both necessary for o-i./iTtr+Vt (l nm not orit.ieisine U1 ^ivn vu. \ ? ?? ? w i a fault-finding way, I only wish to how how little young girls know of eal life.) There would be no picture rithout lights and shodows. God's rays are wiser than ours; sometimes rhen He seems most cruel, He is lost kind, therefore you should iot shirk the hard things of life, f you would be strong. "Necesity is a stern mother, but a true ?ne." She will teach you lessons hat could be learned in no o*her vay. Our first and most important duty s to be one's self. 'This above all, to thine own self be true tnd it must follow, as the night the " 1 ? - r V- ' WITNESSES TO NEGRO KILLING. j Four Carnival Men Held?Statement as to Shooting. Barnwell, Dec. 5.?^Wolcott's model shows arrived here yesterday afternoon to play an engagement of one week. To-day two deputies arrived from Lake City and took into custody four of the Cornival's employees, who are said to have witnessed the homicide at that place early yesterday morning. According j to a statement made to the News and I Courier correspondent by a gentle man connected with the show, the ! shooting was most uncalled for. The negro who tfas killed was said to be j a boy only about 17 years of age and j a most humble and harmless fellow. ! From what could be gathered here, ? the man who did the shooting, and I * who is said to have had a policeman's badge and club, made the remark to or in the negro boy's hearing that he "was going to kill him a negro." The boy thought that he was joking, and made some laughing remark in return, whereupon the other drew his pistol and fired, the first shot going wild but, the second lodging in the negro's head, inflicting a fatal wound. May Abandon Strike. Tampa, Fla., Dec. 5.?Cigar manufacturers saw daylight for the first time in five months to-night, when one of the local unions voted a majority in favor of having a referendum vote whether to return to work or not. The vote was 74 for and 46 against. Other unions of the city will hold elections during the week, and there is little doubt now but that they will all favor a vote. Manufacturers believe there is no doubt as -to the final outcome)of such a vote, as the strike appears to have already been broken, several hundred already being at work. Gov. Gilchrist, who came here to investigate conditions, is still here and is going over evidence submitted to him by the cigarmakers, *as well * as that submitted by the citizens' committee. This investigation grows out of charges made by President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor. Cotton Seed Crop. Charlotte, N. C., Nov. 28.?Some highly interesting observations on the value and importance of the cotton seed crop are now being made in the press of this section, and it is pointed out that a product that a few years ago was almost without value, after sufficient seed for next year's planting had been extracted is now bringing to the farmers a total money value equal to 20 per cent, of the total cotton crop, or fQr the entire South something like $165,000,000.. g These figures are hardly exaggerated;as prevailing prices readily show that the seed extracted from 500 pounds of lint is worth $12 to $14 in the open market, and the demand is steady and sure. The numerous uses to which the products of the seed are put are declared by experts to be merely the beginning of what is to follow, this being said to apply in particular to the varied uses of cotton seed oil. The local market for cotton seed to * " a- ?- i??V/>i n...tn
